Very cold time of year but winter solstice is close..time to celebrate. A couple days Cessna flying lately, my daughter's high school holiday concert, hockey, swimming and getting ready for the holidays are reasons to get other things done. My feet get cold through the hangar's concrete floor so I usually find a place to work off the floor and focus.
Chris Yeeles came by to view my project! Chris is another invaluable resource and instantly a friend, just like many of the builders and flyers I've met. Seeems everyone's intention is to keep each other as safe as possible. I'm so motivated to hear from people like Chris, who've already built glasairs and been enthusiasts for many years. His passion is like mine.
To note from a few posts ago, Ephraim recommended:
- Dynon fuel flow meter move to level....done, - tinnerman washers on wing/body bolt, check all controls for ANY loose parts, components or other awkwardness, - engine breather to exhaust system (acquire .6 od or 1.0 id short tube,
To note, Chris recommended:
-oil pressure fitting to engine to weld close and shrink the hole dia, in case of any future failure, - spacer oil line to cooler..done, - battery heat tape hot area, - safety wire exhaust spring (now not needed with secondary exhaust springs below), vent brake fluid resevour...done, - start an Airworthiness Directive (AD) long for all serial numbered parts on the plane, - trim seat pans for better access to center console (so far, not an issue but will check access with all interior parts in).
Besides this, have added control stick handles and ptt buttons, a few other items and obtained scales to do my weight and balance very soon. Dan Thomas and Steve Alford have been by recently to discuss a few of these issues. All's good and time to move forward again.
